New Graduate RN Ortho Trauma Oncology

Job Description

The Nursing Graduate works under the direct supervision of a Registered Nurse (RN) in the clinical setting and participates appropriately in patient care delivery.

The incumbent orients to the RN assignment, excluding independent nursing care, and may participate in medication administration under the direction and supervision of the licensed RN.

This role may be utilized for up to 12 weeks while employees are in the Intermountain Nurse Residency program and are working toward preparing, testing, and passing the State Boards examination (obtaining an RN license). After that 12‑week period, or if the Nursing Graduate fails the State Board exam a second time, the employee can no longer remain in the Nurse Graduate job.

These employees can apply for other open jobs they qualify for, including jobs requiring a certification the employee currently holds (i.e., CNA, etc.). Failure to pass the boards or be hired into another position will result in termination.

Registered Nurse graduates must be enrolled and have started coursework in the Intermountain Nurse Residency program before providing direct patient care (including direct patient care supervised by a licensed RN).

Must have less than 1 year of RN experience to be considered a NEW GRAD.
